A Community Treasure: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Steve Jaenisch

September 10 - December 13, 2024

September 11, 2024 - Opening Celebration 5-7 p.m.

Local fix it man, Steve Jaenisch, was also well known for his artistic talent. His ability to create a work of art using spark plugs, bearings and scrap pieces of steel were unmatched. Anyone driving around Fergus Falls has seen his work. Some of those pieces include the "Super Goose", the fireman sculpture outside the firehall and the Madison School Memorial to name a few. Steve was a military history buff. He loved to entertain. Through hard work, dedication and persistence he continue Jaenisch Industries, a business started by his father, Harold Jaenisch, in 1946, and which his son, Jeff Jaenisch, continues.

This exhibit highlights many of Steve Jaenisch's works of art and the stories behind them.
